520    "The Long Winter is one of the most memorable novels in 
       Laura Ingalls Wilder’s Little House series. It 
       beautifully details the dramatic events of The Hard Winter
       of 1880-81, a harrowing time with months of never-ending 
       blizzards leading to railroad blockades that all but cut 
       off fledgling communities. But what really happened that 
       winter? Lively and rewarding, The Beautiful Snow is a new 
       look at The Hard Winter. Pulling from nearly three 
       thousand regional newspaper articles, The Beautiful Snow 
       weaves the historical record around and through Wilder&
       #x2019;s fictionalized account. From the tireless efforts 
       to dig out the railroad blockades, to lavish oyster 
       parties, to carefully spun boosterism, The Hard Winter 
       comes to life with extraordinary tales of survival, 
       resilience, and defiance that adds rich context to Wilder&
       #x2019;s beloved novel" --|cProvided by publisher.
